Oppo R19 render with in-display camera and fingerprint scanner leaked

Could this the blueprint for OnePlus 7?

Ever since Apple introduced the iPhone X with a notched display, Android counterparts too have been launching smartphones with notched display. And while Apple has a wider notch, which is consistent through the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max models too, Android manufacturers have been trying different types of notches.

Xiaomi has implemented a wider notch, Huawei has a slightly smaller notch, where Oppo and Vivo have small, as well as waterdrop style notches. Now, the leaked render of Oppo R19 has surfaced on Weibo (via GizmoChina), and it shows off an in-display camera, making way for even more screen real estate, and thus delivering higher screen to body ratio. It is expected to come with a 6.4-inch screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection, 8GB of RAM and Snapdragon 710 SoC with an octa-core CPU.
